Real-Time Racing

[Rudra Chattopadhyay]

I'd also like to thank Ramon van Rijn as I learnt all about skinning from his tutorial. It was awesome.:soccerball:

 

[PlaYz]

with no disrespect to any of the entries but there was nothing that just jumped out and said, pick me pick me.

Akos got my vote.

New Real-Time Racing website

With the (public) beta test starting soon Real-Time Racing opened the doors of their new portal: www.real-timeracing.com

The website brings you the latest news and developments about the upcoming beta. Also a countdown timer is ticking towards the first race where you have the chance to beat the real life professional drivers.

Keep a close eye on the site the upcoming weeks and if you haven't registered yourself for the beta test yet you can still do so.

RTR - The Real-Time Racing Game by SimBin is the new race game innovation, where gamers experience the new iOpener Enabled feature first-hand! This marks the first opportunity for gamers to compete against professional race drivers during real events. Gamers can choose between either racing live against drivers on race tracks or racing in a stored modus of previously held races that have been recorded.

rbr is amazingnessness... but it is 5 years old and could easily be slayed by a brand new, modern sim... encompassing all the stages from rallies - not just 4 or 6... with a wide selection of current and past machinery and proper integrated support for multiplier competition... tell me where to sign!

RBR is also one of my favorites, with the exception of the graphics and the set up menus I dont think that it shows its age at all. Somewhere out on the internet someone put together a matrix of all the race sims and all the "features" they support. I was surprised at how comprehensive RBR was and how well it compared and in many ways beat its more modern competitors. I cant wait until my beloved iRacing has everything that RBR has.

If someone would just take the RSRBR code and remake it into one cohesive (and english language) application it would still be one of the best, if not the best SIM out there. I'd gladly pay for it too.

Will Formula 1 be iOpener Enabled?

F1 update: Four new teams multiple faces and icons leaving. Changes everywhere you look. iOpener Enabling F1 up next?

iOpener Twitter

Does this tweet means what i think it means? In that case we simracers can race live against formula 1 drivers that are on the real track? :woot:

 

[Oliver Amos]

If that is the case, it will be great for iOpener and us racers. I will be watching this intently as this could be rather good

RaceDepartment is proud to announce the winner of the main prize of our RTR Summer Car Skin Contest: a PlaySeat. Besides this great piece of sim racing hardware the winning car skin will also be featured in the upcoming beta of the Real-Time Racing Game by iOpener and SimBin!

After the hard work of all the participants in this competition a large group of fans voted for their favorite entries resulting in a top 10.

The jury would like to mention a very original car skin entered by Rudra Chattopadhyay (India) and reward him with a crew shirt. Due to the clear visibility of their logo on his car skin Moritz Racing invites Xavier Wittman (Belgium) to join a ride in their Marco Mantis on the Circuit Zolder.
